AURI SACRA FAMES No.1  

The year 2012: Streetfiles.org is the No.1 source for checking out graffiti. Print as a medium for publishing photos of graffiti is dead, at least that’s what you did hear from everybody back then, even in the alleged world’s capital of graffiti Berlin. And it was true: what Berlin graffiti is all about was not to be found in magazines. The impression you would get online, where spotters did upload the results of their trips through the city, looking for trains, tags and pieces, was closer to reality as any magazine was able to show.

So instead of publishing just another magazine where writer friends of the editors or people who send in their stuff fill the pages, a new concept evolved, learning from the online advantages. O’CLOCK is rocking Kreuzberg with fresh tags? NAKZ is killing it on S-Bahn trains? ACID79 burns a hall of fame? Go out, take photos and put them in the magazine, always aiming to provide a representative documentation of the scene in a clear and clean layout.

The result was a 100 paged softcover magazine including shots from only a handful of people in chapters like tags, S-Bahn, subway stations, street and walls featuring MOAR, SPIDER, BUZZ, ROGER, CAUSE, DOROC, HEMAN, TIN, KRIPOE, SKY7, NICK, FINO, COST, ROCCO, TRIK, FISO, BAMBOO, SAZO, BACKE, AZUR, ZOUK, SHAKE as well as a special on COKE and an interview special DROW.

Luckily there’s life in the old dog yet, even when it comes to print and the predictions have been wrong. The magazine was a success, leading to several following issues with the same concept and far more content. This is the very last chance to order new copies of the first issue!

32 Notes on Graffiti

Creating a graffiti magazine is somehow the same as creating graffiti. It’s easy to do what others did long before and most of your contemporaries do today. To choose an old and often walked path is always easier than looking for your own way of achieving your goals.

The concept behind “32 Notes of Graffiti” couldn’t be more simple. Besides the two pages every participant has been given there’s no other content. The result is one of the most interesting and entertaining magazines of the last years. Reduced to a minimum of space every special had to be broken down to a quint essence.

A letter to graffiti (SEEW) and the buffing and crossing out of own panels (ZEDT, CAPSOL) attract your attention in the 32 chapters as well as classic freight train full color pieces (NEO) or the photographic archives of 1980s defense attorney from Munich.

Every two pages are different and the well selected participants from Germany, Finland, Italy, France, Sweden, etc. offer a broad variety of stories and insights presented in a combination of photos and texts in most cases. This magazine is already a classic and must have in every serious collection.

Featured artists: KID CRAP, KAYRO, Konrad Kittl, IDEE, NEO, SAT ONE, BROM, Anonym, Julian Roth, GUES, Emmett E., ZASD, HACKE, SPAIR, LAZY P, IRON, ACID79, EXOT, NOKIER, ZAY, Osif Seiksuh, WIND, TAPS, CAPSOL, Benjamin Bisl, Alex Fakso, EGS, BWÄRE, DREAMCATCHER16, ZEDT, CASTER and SEEW.
